Blues Land Naismith

Everton have completed the signing of Scotland international Steven Naismith who has put pen to paper on a four-year deal.

The former Rangers forward, 25, joins as a free agent and has completed all the formalities.

Naismith has won 15 caps for his country and will join up with the rest of the Blues squad for pre-season training at Finch Farm this week.

Everton Manager David Moyes said: "We are delighted that Steven has agreed to join us. He will be an excellent addition to the players we already have and we look forward to him being fit and ready to play at the start of the season.

"He is an established international who can play in a number of positions. He has a flexibility we always like in our players and which will hopefully prove to be very useful for us."

Steven added: "‘It is a great honour to be joining a club of Everton’s wonderful history and to have the chance to play with such a talented group of players in the world’s best league: the Barclays Premier League, in front of such a passionate group of fans.

"I look forward greatly to working with the Manager David Moyes and all the staff at Everton and working hard to deliver on the pitch to repay their, and the Chairman Mr Kenwright’s, faith and belief in me."
